ESCAPING FROM SIBERIA,

It'ccnt development In HuhkIu lmve
m rvej to direct public attention anew
the state of atTatru in tho vast Mu-s-
vlto realm. This in tho tlmo of year
when the wretched creature con
demned to n life of pructkul H-rfdom
hi Siberia make their rnoat strenuous
luleavora tu eneape. 1'ractically In no
Dart or Hlbt'tla la imprisonment bo
much to he dreaded as in the mlneH of
Kara. .Spring U considered the. best
im3 to m:ike tho break for liberty, a
then the risorn of a Siberian winter
me passed, and there is then iuco
banco of Kneee:;H.
Many miles of uVsolato territory
must bo crossed, and in the dead of
winter such, attempts are worse than
futll.), for the despairing convict only
escapes from serfdom to die of expo
sure or starvation on the bleak Sibe
rian desert. Vet, foolhardy as It may
teem, many do make the struggle for
freedom, preferring probable death in
this form to the miseries of the prison
pen.
Once the wretches have eluded the
fcharp eyeu of the guards and escaped
Irom tho prison proper there is always
some guide to direct them for the first
hundred miles or so. Night is the time
for tho attempt, and in the darkness
.ozne succeed. After the prison is left
behind them all traveling must be done
under cover of darkness. When a vil
lage is reached all is dark and still,
save at one cot. where a lljrht is ever
burning in the window. There the
desperate refugee knows he may find
friends and perhaps shelter during the
coming day.
The system of convict pens i3 not
condoned by the natives, and they are
ready to be of any possiblo assistance.
Of course, this must be done with
the greatest secrecy, as detection
might mean the same fate for the cot
lager and all his family, Therefore
the greatest caution must be observed,
In the window a little table is placed.
on which stands a lamp, a plate and
a jug. When the cottager and his fam
ily sit down to their frugal meal a
choice morsel is selected and set on
the plate, while the jug is filled for
the ever expected unfortunate way
farer.
When the hospitable night sheds her
-loak of secrecy over the world the
convict, leaving his place of conceal
ment, steals up to the lighted window
md, pushing it open, takes the plate
mil jug and refreshes himself for the
next stage of his long, dreary march
to liberty. Hut where to go? Doubt
less his former happy home has been
destroyed, his family scattered. He
cannot return to see, for detection is
loubly sure where he is known. The
mly resort is to plod to some neigh
boring village, where perchance he
may learn some news of the dear ones.
And all this misery for what?
Because, forsooth, he may have been
suspected of disloyalty to his ruler, or
he may only have Incurred the hatred
r ill will of the local police. Little
wonder that the present uprising
throughout the realm is assuming
alarming proportions. The voice of
civilization, official edicts, royal
ukases may have ameliorated these
desperate conditions somewhat, but
the system of Siberian banishment is
built on a poor foundation, and it can
Us only a matter of time when a vast
upheaval will bring about a change
in conditions in Russia.
SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
It Is computed that one inch of
water on an acre of nurfuce I 27,112
f-.ullon or 113 tons, weight.
A number of young filbert trees have
ben b1 nt to the agricultural depart
ment from Greece. The nuts from
these trees are the largest and have
the finest flavor of anv filberts the
department has yet discovered, and
every effort Is to be made o encourage
their growing.
In an open Iondon suburb a scien
tist found 20,000 dust particles in a
cubic centimetre of air equal to about
O.Otil of a cubic inch while in a ward
in tho centre of London the number
amounted to GuO.OOO. The air wa.i
loaded to the extent of about 000 per
cent more in the city than in the sub
urb. Absolute zero Is the point at which
as has been determined from experi
ments with gasea, matter would be
without a trace of heat could bo cool
ed no farther. This point is 273 ds
gies below centigrade zero. A de
gree of cold so Intense a3 this is, how
ever, absolutely unattainable. Even
the metwites which swarm in iuter
stellar space must be heated to some
extent by the radiance of the stars.
American material for the building
of railroads, tramways, etc., continues
to be exclusively employed in Mexico.
The latest order in that line placed
In the United States amounted to a
large figure, for it was destined fo
throe lines of tramway around Medi
na, in the state of Yucatan. A com
pany was formed for tue building and
operating of these tramways, with
capital of $400,000, and it has applie-1
to the state legislature for the con
cession, which, oeing a purely formal
affair, the official conclusion of it was
not waited for by the tramway com
pany. The Faroe Islands are remarkable for
th.9 immense numbers of birds that
frequent them, and which furnish an
important supply of feathers to com
merce. The most valuable of these
birds for Its feathers is the puffin,
about 100,000 of which are caught an
nually. Perpendicular cliffs of rock,
facing westwardly, are known as fowl
ing cliffs, because of the birds that
cover their shelves. During part of
the summer the birds are so numerous
around the cliffs that they are said to
resemble a thick snowstorm. Very
few birds are found about cliffs that
do not have a western exposure.
Da You Know Espcrnndo?
The latest aspirant for honors as a
universal language, the successor of
Volapuk, which was agitated some
yfurs ago, is known as Esperando.
This is an artificial language, due to
Dr. Zamenhof, a Russian linguist.
There is no doubt that, despite the ex
tensive translation of valuable foreign
articles appearing in the technical
j.itES, in theso days when every manu
facturing industry is carried on along
scientific and chemical lines, a wider
interchange of ideas and discoveries
is of the utmost importance. Such is
the mission of a universal language,
one in which" any scholar would be
able to describe and explain his dis
coveries so as to have a universal
audience.
Esperando grammar is said to con
sist of 16 simple rule3, without any
exceptions whatever, and there are but
17 modifications of the termination of
words. It Is claimed that with 10
minutes' instruction in the grammar a
novice can translate Esperando with
the aid of a dictionary only, while a
mouth's Etudy suffices to enable him to
writo or epeak it, the latter operation
being simplified by phonetic spJling.
It is said that 50,000 people In conti
nental Europe have taken up Its study.
CERMANY'S NEW OIL ENCINE.
It Opetates Without the Use of Holler
Furnas or Chimney.
Great things are expected of the
Diesel engine, the latest thing in Ger
man engineering, the first working
of which In England a London Ex
press representative was permitted to
see at Guidebridge, near Manchester,
recently.
Economy in fuel and space is the
chief merit of the Diesel, commending
it to makers of automobiles and small
marine craft as an engine with a fu
ture. Its claim to originality lies in
the fact that it works with crude oil,
without Bmell or dirt, perfectly con
suming all the products of combus
tion. Unlike other oil engines, it re
quires no ignition point. Compressed
air from cylinders starts the Diesel.
Oil and air are then admitted to the
cylinder, when the compression of the
air by the return stroke so raises the
temperature that the oil flashes and
the- forward stroke is delivered.
The exhaust is perfectly clean and
free from odor. Thus the claim made
for the Diesel is that no boilers, fur
naces or chimneys are required. Great
economy of space and fuel i3 effected,
as it can be used with any kind of
liquid fuel or furnace gas the waste
product of blast furnaces. Hopes are
entertained that the Diesel will be used
on a very large scale, those who are
introducing it to England claiming
for it the ability to run a vessel ab
large as the Oceanic. Already an or
der has been placed by the French
government for an engine of this type,
to be used in a submarine boat.
If the Diesel frees the streets from
the smell of the motor car and yacht
decks and ladies' dresses from the cin
ders of a steamer funnel, the German
inventor will have claim on the grati
tude of mankind. If, as seems likely,
it will encourage the establishment of
small plants in rural districts, where
gas is not obtainable and coal is dear,
it may do much more than this for in
dustrial England.

Artificial Marble.
. Manufacturers are actually making
marble by the same process by which
nature makes it, only In a few weeks
instead of a few thousand years. They
take a rather soft limestone and chem
ically permeate it with various color
ing matters, which sink into the stone
and are not a mere surface coloring,

rial takes a fine polish, and many of
the specimens are of beautiful color
and marking. Used as a veneer it la
